Aspen Meadow Vanilla Cream Stout

Brewed by Cold Spring Brewery
Style: Sweet Stout
Cold Spring, Minnesota USA

The name sounds amazingly tantalizing, but the beer just doesn’t quite seem to live up to it imo. It’s still a really good stout porter style beer, just not quite as much flavor and aroma as the name suggests. Very nice thick creamy stout, though.

Tastes similar to Cream soda. Good Stout.

A dark golden color, bizzare for a stout. Small head that disappeared right away. Strong vanilla nose. Smelled like Salvator at first, now just vanilla. Definite vanilla, a little malt. This is not a stout, but would be a good ale of some sort.

Brown with a medium creamy beige head. Smells like vanilla and metallic. Taste malty, vanilla and metallic.

I think I rated the wrong beer or something. This one is special. Go and get it. Smooth and tasty like a good vanilla creme soda from Trader Joes.

This beer, while not having the "heft" befitting of a stout, is reasonably enjoyable. Popping the cap on the bottle leads to an interesting aroma of vanilla. The brew pours a medium brownish red with a quickly disappearing head. Wow, I can see right through it. The taste is instant vanilla with some subtle malty overtones. I wish they had labelled it as a vanilla ale or something; it's too "light" to be called a stout in my book. But nonetheless, it's fairly decent.

Light brown color,small head that didn't really assert itself.The aroma was vanilla,malt aroma with maybe a hint of hops but medium sweet.The taste was mildly malty,sweet and fairly vanilla with very little else.the after taste is overly vanilla and sweet almost leaves an icky film on the tongue.This is a definate hard on the tasting pallate brew,very one sided and lifeless.
